Levi Stubbs, leader singer of the Four Tops, passes

One of the most powerful voice in Motown's storied history Levi Stubbs has been silenced. The Four Tops lead singer Levi Stubbs Jr. died Friday at his home in Detroit after a long series of health problems, including cancer and a stroke, that forced him to stop performing in 2000. He was 72. Funeral arrangements were pending for Stubbs, who is survived by Clineice, his wife of 48 years, and five children.
